Editorial Policy

We are committed to accurate, useful, and clearly-sourced information about gastric sleeve surgery. This page explains how we work.

How articles are created

Articles are researched and written using authoritative sources, such as the NHS, NICE, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), the British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society (BOMSS), and peer-reviewed research, which we cite at the foot of every article.

Medical review

Articles covering clinical topics are reviewed by a consultant bariatric surgeon before publication. Reviewed articles display the reviewer’s name, credentials, and the date of review. Our current reviewer is Mr Ian Calloway, MBBS, FRCS.

Keeping content current

We review published articles periodically and update them as clinical guidance changes. Each article shows its publication date and, where applicable, when it was last updated or reviewed.

Independence

We do not accept payment to recommend any clinic, surgeon, or destination, and our content is written to inform, not to sell. Any commercial relationships, should we ever add them, will be disclosed clearly.

Corrections
